chocolate and the prisoner...

Easter Sunday has come and gone and left me a lovely bounty of delicious chocolate. Hmm..to eat or not to eat everything at once?
Sunday was spent with my mum, sister and step-dad in our pyjamas watching Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and DVD's of an old (maybe 1970s) television series called The Prisoner. The writers of that tv show were either complete symbolic geniuses or were completely insane. I can't even begin to describe the episode that we watched - it was very weird! The show is about a guy who resigns from his highly top secret job for some unknown reason. Something or someone 'capture' him and take him to an island where they try to work out why he resigned - or at least that seems to be the reason. It is all a bit confusing for me, so I just sit and watch in wonder, getting the storyline now and then and laughing at the awesome 'period' clothes and sets - round doorways, lava lamps, awesome haircuts. If you ever get a chance to watch this series do! It is way beyond anything we have on tv nowadays - it is better, more intelligent, and much more interesting.
